ThNF: Freeney will play, Mathis a game-time

Dec 17, 2009

Indianapolis Colts DE Dwight Freeney will play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night despite missing practice the last two days, reports NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi. The Colts’ other defensive end, Robert Mathis, will be a game-time decision.

Freeney, one of 29 Colts on yesterday’s injury report, was officially listed as questionable with an abdomen injury that has bothered him for several weeks. He’s missed one game this season, the Week 12 win over the Texans.

Mathis was also held out of practice the last two days with a quad injury. He was listed as questionable.

The Colts had already ruled out CB Jerraud Powers (hamstring) and RB Donald Brown (chest).

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
